Coverage depends on depth and compaction. As a rule of thumb, one ton of fill dirt is about 0.83 cubic yards and will cover roughly 90 sq ft at 3 inches deep or about 45 sq ft at 6 inches deep. For precise needs, measure your area and use the calculator to convert depth into cubic yards, then into tons.

That depends on the truck. A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries about 12 to 14 cubic yards, which for fill dirt usually equals roughly 14 to 18 tons, but smaller or larger trucks can carry as little as 8 tons or as much as 20+ tons. Your Hello Gravel order will list the expected truck type and approximate tonnage before delivery.

A single dump-truck delivery of fill dirt to Stapleton commonly ranges from about $150 to $600 depending on load size, distance, and any extra services like tailgate spreading. Exact cost depends on the truck type, local supplier rates, and the delivery address; Hello Gravel provides upfront pricing and delivery options at checkout. Keep in mind a 3-ton minimum order applies.

Generally, yes — basic fill dirt is usually cheaper per ton than gravel because it requires less processing and is often locally available. However, certain engineered or screened fills can cost more, and gravel offers structural and drainage benefits that can make it the better value for driveways and base layers. Choose based on the project need, not price alone.

Ordering in bulk through a local supplier or Hello Gravel usually gives the best per-ton price, since delivery and hauling are the main costs. If you have a pickup and can haul material yourself, pickup can save money but is limited by vehicle capacity and minimum order rules. Also compare nearby suppliers, schedule off-peak delivery when possible, and avoid optional spreading fees to keep costs down.

Yes — fill dirt is commonly used to raise grade, fill low spots, and level yards, but it should be placed in layers and compacted to avoid future settling. For topsoil and lawn projects, add a few inches of topsoil or screened loam over the fill before planting. For work near foundations, septic systems, or drainage paths, consult a local contractor and check local codes before placing large amounts of fill.

Small residential deliveries for yard work usually do not require permits, but larger fills, changes to drainage, or work in regulated areas may need approval from Lee County or the Town of Stapleton. Always check with local building or planning offices before ordering large volumes, and mention permit concerns when you contact Hello Gravel so we can help guide you. If in doubt, a quick call to the town office will clarify requirements.

Measure the area in square feet and decide the desired depth in feet, then use: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in ft) / 27. Convert cubic yards to tons for fill dirt by multiplying by about 1.2 (tons per cubic yard) to account for typical density, or use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a ready-made conversion. If you expect compaction or want extra for settling, add 10% to 20% to your estimate.
